Kickback and lock‐in<br />
- When working with the Power Cut there is a danger of kickback<br />
and lock‐in.<br />
- Kickback occurs when the top of the cutting disc is used for<br />
cutting (15).<br />
- This causes the Power Cut to be thrown back toward the user<br />
with great force and out of control. Risk of injury!<br />
To prevent kickback, observe the following:<br />
- Never cut with the section of the cutting disc shown in figure 15.<br />
Be especially careful when reinserting the disc into cuts<br />
that have already been started!<br />
- Lock‐in occurs when the cut narrows (crack, or workpiece under<br />
stress).<br />
- This causes the Power Cut to suddenly jump forward, out of<br />
control and with great force. Risk of injury!<br />
To prevent lock‐in, observe the following:<br />
- When reinserting the disc into previous cuts, have the Power<br />
Cut running at top speed. Always cut at top speed.<br />
- Always support the workpiece so that the cut is under tension<br />
(16), so that the cut does not press together and jam the cutting<br />
disc as it proceeds through the material.<br />
- When starting a cut, apply the disc to the workpiece with care.<br />
Do not just shove it into the material.<br />
- Never cut more than one piece at a time! When cutting, make<br />
sure that no other workpiece comes into contact.<br />
Working behavior / Method of working<br />
- Before starting work, check the work area for any hazards<br />
(electrical wires, inflammable substances). Clearly mark the<br />
work area (for example with warning signs or by cordoning off<br />
the area).<br />
- When working with the Power Cut hold it firmly by the front and<br />
rear handles. Never leave the Power Cut unattended!<br />
- Use the Power Cut at high speed as far as possible (see “Technical<br />
Data”).<br />
- Only use the Power Cut during good light and visibility periods.<br />
Be aware of slippery or wet areas, and of ice and snow (risk of<br />
slipping).<br />
- Never work on unstable surfaces. Make sure that there are no<br />
obstacles in the working area, risk of stumbling. Always ensure<br />
that you have a safe footing.<br />
- Never cut above your shoulder height (17).<br />
- Never stand on a ladder to cut (17).<br />
- Never use the Power Cut while standing on scaffolding.<br />
- Do not lean over too far when working. When putting down and<br />
picking up the Power Cut, do not bend over from the waist, but<br />
instead bend in the knees. Save your back!<br />
- Guide the Power Cut in such a way that no part of your body<br />
is within the extended swing range of the disc (18).<br />
- Use cutting discs only for the materials for which they are designed!<br />
- Use cutting discs only for the materials for which they are designed.<br />
Do not use the Power Cut to lift up and shovel away<br />
pieces of material and other objects.<br />
Important! Before cutting, remove all foreign objects, such as<br />
rocks, gravel, nails etc. from the cutting area. Otherwise, such<br />
objects can be flung away by the disc with great speed. Injury<br />
hazard!<br />
- When cutting workpieces down to length use a firm support.<br />
If necessary, secure the workpiece from slipping, but do not<br />
steady it with your foot or allow another person to hold it.<br />
- When cutting round items, always secure them against rotation.<br />
- When guiding the Power Cut by hand, use the side mounting<br />
position of the cutter attachment only when actually necessary.<br />
Otherwise, always use the central position. This gives the unit<br />
a better balance, for reduced operator fatigue.<br />
